Windsource Adjustment Details

• The Windsource Adjustment appears as a separate line item on your monthly Xcel Energy bill starting four to six weeks after we receive your sign-up form, assuming there is not a waiting list for new subscriptions. Please note that Windsource is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once our wind energy supply is fully subscribed you may be added to a waiting list.
• The Windsource Adjustment is equal to the Wind Energy Rate less the Electric Commodity Adjustment and the Air Quality Improvement Rider per 100 kWh block of wind energy.
• Windsource energy is subject to all base electric rate adjustments. The Windsource Adjustment, therefore, will change based on annual filed rate adjustments, including the Electric Commodity Adjustment and the Air Quality Improvement Rider. We will notify residential electric customers of rate changes after approval by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
• Windsource customers must commit to purchasing clean, renewable wind energy for a minimum of one year (three years for large business customers), during which time you may pay more or less for electricity than under the standard rates.
• To cancel Windsource after the minimum one- or three-year term, call or write Xcel Energy using the contact information listed above.
• The Colorado Public Utilities Commission has approved the use of market pricing concepts for Windsource rather than the regulated methods. Xcel Energy reserves the right to remove customers from Windsource for non-payment.
